While part of the clique dominated by Jaan van de Kuypers, the 59-year-old Karl den Euwe has come to feel that Jaan's power has grown so much that it threatens to render all the rest insignificant. Carefully and gradually, he has been building ties to the Foogers, van den Nijmenks, de Roelefs, van Onderzoekers and the Cult of Shallya. Though his plans are vague, he sees the need for a counterbalance "before we all become Jaan's footmen". He has even recently begun sending secret subsidies to Thijs van Onderzoeker to cushion his losses while providing him with sound advice.[1a]
